These grey sheets / blocks of lino are especially made for "linocut" relief printmaking. They are 3.2mm thick, have a fabric backing, and are available in a range of sizes and packs. The surface of the lino is cut away using special lino cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The block is inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing process can be done by hand or with a press. You can use water-based lino ink, oil-based lino ink, or a block printing medium mixed with paint.

The Essdee Soft Lino Roller is designed for use in relief printmaking, and is an effective tool for inking lino sheets and softer surfaces such as Speedball Speedy Carve Blocks.Developed for relief printing, this softer 40 shore synthetic rubber roller is resistant to printers chemicals and not affected by exposure to daylight. Designed to give a more compliant coverage than hard rubber material, it is more forgiving on uneven surfaces. It is a favourite with certain printing methods but needs extra care in storage to prevent indentation to its soft surface.

The Akua Retarder has two purposes. A few drops mixed into Akua Liquid Pigment helps transfer ink onto dry paper during the printing process. It can also be added to Akua Liquid Pigment to prevent the ink from drying on the monotype plate thereby extending the working time of the ink. - A clear liquid, it is ideal for hot, dry or very cold studio conditions. Only a tiny amount is needed, too much will cause the ink to bead. It is not suitable for use with Akua Intaglio Inks. Easy clean up with water. -

A great starter set which contains some of the essential items needed for quality printmaking. Use with monotype brushwork or roll up, intaglio, etching collograph and more. This set contains three Akua Intaglio Inks, which are high quality, lightfast pigments. The inks have a thick consistency with minimal water content and contain no toxic driers – this means a longer working time. The set also contains Phthalo Akua Liquid Pigment Ink which originally was developed for monotype printmaking and is a fluid concentrated pigment. Included in this set are also two modifiers, the Transparent Base Modifier is designed to have Akua Liquid Pigment added to it which will not only thicken the Liquid Pigment but will give you the ability to create new intaglio or relief colours. The set also contains a Blending Medium which can be used with both the Akua Liquid Pigment and the Akua Intaglio Ink - it is a clear, colourless liquid and is to be used to thin the ink for brushwork, wash effects or used as a resist for viscosity monotypes. There is also a handy instruction guide.
